"Pulling Mussels From The Shell" by Squeeze I think this is a little
closer J
AmGFEDm
They do it down on camber sands, They do it at Waikiki
GF
Lazing about the beach all day, All night the crickets creepy
EFCF#
Squinting faces at the sky, A Harrold Robbins paperback
EFCF#
Surfers drop their boards and dry, And everybody wants a hat
G#Am GFGAmGF
But behind the Chalet, My holiday's complete
GAmGFE
And I feel like William Tell
DmC Bflat AG#G
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
CG
Pulling mussels from the shell,
FG#
Pulling mussels from the shell
AmGFEDm
Shrinking in the sea so cold, Topless ladies look away
GF
A he-man in a sunken shower, Shelters from the rain
EFCF#
You wish you had a motor boat, To pose around the harbor bar
EFCF#
And when the sun goes out to bed, You hook it up behind the car
G#Am GFGAmGF
But behind the Chalet, My holiday's complete
GAmGFE
And I feel like William Tell
DmC Bflat AG#G
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
CG
Pulling mussels from the shell,
FG#
Pulling mussels from the shell
AmGFEDm
Two fat ladies window shop, Something for the mantelpiece
GF
In for bingo all the nines, A panda for sweet little niece
EFCF#
The coach drivers stand about, Looking at a local map
EFCF#
About the boy he's gone away, Down to next door's caravan
G#Am GFGAmGF
But behind the Chalet, My holiday's complete
GAmGFE
And I feel like William Tell
DmC Bflat AG#G
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
CG
Pulling mussels from the shell,
FG#
Pulling mussels from the shell
(2X and end)

I saw this in the archive and it was so confusing I was motivated to
help it out, I think the words are correct, but more important, I
believe the chords are in the right place.
This is a cool song, so enjoy. Mike Makarov

Subject: "Pulling Mussels" correction
Here it is: the Squeeze classic, "Pulling Mussels From The Shell,"
written by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, from the 1980 album
"Argybargy."
Difford and Tilbrook often perform this song acoustic -- in fact, I
started
playing it after seeing them on an early "Unplugged" before it got
trendy
with big stars. Note: I use G# and climb back down to G on the chorus,
but
on TV they played a different chord which I couldn't figure out
visually.
Also, they skip the solo and go straight to the last verse...Enjoy!
